We use no-clean sac305 pastes that are not water soluble. Will a DI water based washer work for cleaning these stencils or is alcohol required?

I would recommend some sort of saponifier that has been tested and is known to remove the no clean flux residues that you're trying to remove.

We are considering buying a new stencil washer machine. We stencil print boards with NC solder paste and in the near future Lead free solder paste. I'd like to hear your experience with this equipments and what you recommend.

The best method of cleaning misprinted boards is with a stencil cleaner. I would not recommend the use of a spray-in-air system for misprints. Spray systems can cause solder paste to become embedded into vias and under components (if double sided).

We had a great deal of trouble cleaning adhesive residue from stencils using an alcohol stencil washer. Same kind of thing, adhesive build-up in aperture corners. The solution we came up with was to convert our stencil washer to run Zestron ES200, a
